In a world where the acceptance of relativism has caused erosion
in the tradition of Cartesian dualism, representationalism in the
arts has come under serious questioning. The contributors to this
book seek new standards for defining and evaluating works of
art.
"Relativism in the Arts" brings together thinkers in the fields
of music, art criticism, literary criticism, philosophy, and the
"history of consciousness" to confront the problems of relativist
aesthetics. Their essays range from theoretical discussions of the
definition of art in our times to close examinations of particular
artworks or art forms. The introduction by Betty Jean Craige
presents reasons for the cultural self-reflectivity that gives rise
to the peculiarities of modern art.
